- 25 June 2026 - Trashure Hunt 2026 will open its award ceremony and
public exhibition this Saturday, 27 June, at Raffles City Shopping
Centre, inviting Singaporeans to see how discarded materials can be
transformed into artworks that spark practical conversations on waste,
recycling and climate action.
Organised by Adsan Law LLC and Ode To Art in support of Go Green SG
2026, Trashure Hunt arrives as Singapore continues to push for stronger
everyday sustainability habits. While national conversations around
climate action often focus on large-scale infrastructure or policy, the
exhibition brings the issue closer to the public by showing how
creativity can change the way people see the materials they throw away.
The exhibition is part of the fourth edition of Go Green SG, the
national sustainability movement led by the Ministry of Sustainability
and the Environment. This year's edition runs from 11 May to 28 June
2026 and features more than 1,000 sustainability-focused activities by
around 500 partners across Singapore, with a focus on climate
adaptation. Against that backdrop, Trashure Hunt brings the message into
a familiar public space: a shopping mall, where everyday consumption
and environmental responsibility naturally meet.
Following the close of submissions on 20 June, selected artworks created
from clean recyclable or discarded materials will be showcased at
Raffles City Shopping Centre from 27 June to 4 July 2026. Entries are
assessed on creativity, use of materials, sustainability message,
craftsmanship and overall impact. Winners will receive a share of a SGD
9,000 prize pool, with first prize at SGD 5,000, second prize at SGD
3,000 and third prize at SGD 1,000.
As the Green Energy Partner for Trashure Hunt 2026, GoRentalSG supported
the event's vision of turning waste into wonder by demonstrating how
sustainability can be activated not only through art, but also through
the way events are powered. For this event, GoRentalSG provided 216kWh
of clean energy and helped avoid an estimated 583kg of emissions,
proving that every gathering, exhibition and public experience has the
potential to become part of a cleaner energy future.
"People often think sustainability begins with big infrastructure, but
an exhibition like Trashure Hunt makes it visible and immediate," said
Colin Peh, Founder and Managing Director of GoRental SG. "A discarded
item can become something worth pausing for, and an event can run on
cleaner power instead of defaulting to diesel. These practical shifts
are what make sustainability easier for more people to understand and
adopt."
The award ceremony will be held on Saturday, 27 June 2026, 11:30am, at
Ode To Art, 252 North Bridge Road, #01-36E/F, Raffles City Shopping
Centre. Mr Melvyn Ong, Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of
Sustainability and the Environment, will attend as Guest of Honour. The
award ceremony is for invited guests and media only, while the
exhibition will be open to the public from 27 June to 4 July.
